NEw YORK Is awake and terribly In
earnest In the matter o municipal re-
form. Hewitt has ordered an investiga-
tion into the conduct OF those lawy rs
under whose professional steering Jake
Sharpe was able to prevent any COnclu-
siye testimony to the fact Of bribery. His
sklllful threading Of the mazes oi NUM-
cipal dishonesty was one Of the marvels
OF criminal trial, and his conviction was
made on general principles and In obedi-
ence TO popular demand and not be-
cause Of any direct proof offered In court.
The press of New York have been in
slant and ceRseless In their demand for
a cleansing Of the fountains OF oorrup-
ton in that municipality, and no higher
testimony to the value Of the press as a
means OF reforming public abuses could
be offered than that presented in New
York and Chicago at this time. In both
these cities, one under democratic and
the other under republican sdministra-
ton. the work OfrefOrm goes on unceRs-
irgly. and to no agency Is this reforms
tion so largely due NJ TO the daily press
Of these cities, which with an indOmit-
able perslsteDcy and insistency have
called the public attention to the abuses
OF years and demanded a redress.
FoRT WORTH is agOniZing as pros
peotive winter resort. The Fort IL am
bilious, but her forte lies in spiderweb
lines, the inyOlutiOns an COnvOlutiOns
and revolutions and CIrcumlOcutiOns OF
the rail, and not in health Institutions
These latter San Antonio has had the
bulge on. and now she proposes to work
out her advantages with wisdom and
liberality. II Galveston and Houston
and Austin and Waco and FL PasO could
not turn the stream OF northern travel
from the old Alamo City in the days OF
her slack water, back action inactivities,
IL will be in vain for Fort Worth to try
it now, when every artery is beginning
to pulsate with the new life OF new
day of progress. Nature made this sec
ton the natural health resort Of the ma

pairing to write this truth on every
breezy height that envirOns the city.

They care nothing to honor him. The
rewards, poor enough, with which gov
eminent recompenses the valorous servi-
ees of the past. are cayiled at as chart
ties ill-bestowed. In the eyes Of these
Youngsters the herolsm that has fulfilled
it's purpose should be remembered only
AZ thing done with. The Ftorm was
escaped, what matter the means. The
present ran not concern itself with the
past; and yet, thank God, they are not
all that way-even when their tongues
run away with their sense, when, vainly
believing il an evidence Of smartness to
speak fippantly of the hero who tells
his wonderful story Of the war, sense
Of shame Expresses them, and silence
gives place to chattering bandiage. No,
there is kind of craze abroad in the
land to get awful cute at the expense OF
the old soldier-his stories Of narrowing
hattie scenes are ridiculed, not because
they are not believed. but because it is 80
cunnia, you know. Is it not time TO call
a halt, to reflect on the benefits all the
youth of to-day derive from the heroes
who passed through the four years bap-
tism of blood to perpetuate their liberties
and the life of the nation? When the
youth of the natioh cease to respect it's
defenders and saviors, civil liberty viii
give place to centralized power, and the
fawning sycophsnt TO the sturdy, indie
pendent freeman. We can not believe
this all-killin' cuteness, even though It is
so widespread, means that the boys have
forgotten. but that they are simply fol-
lowing fashion, thoughtlessly, that had
its origin in some sarcasm directed at
the rich rewards high treason is now en-
joyi3g.

extended to Dakota, not only by Spring.
